Among my herd
Minutes and hours slip by
Without me even noticing them.
My heart and mind
Guide my path
Through the Universe with
Love, gratitude, and commitment
To the present.
Contentment pulses
Within my 8lb heart
Filling the whole of
Space between
Heaven and Earth.
Looking around me
My desires are only
What appears before me:
The Spring grass,
Sweet and lush.
My gratitude is as
Boundless as the cool air.
Just swishing tails
Quiet snuffles
Of deepened breathing
Soft licking and chewing
And lowered heads
Reserved for grazing.
I am calm.
I am peaceful.
I am authentic.
I shift my heart to feel
As the world unfolds
Where my hooves are earth
And my breath is sky.
I think of it as
Mindful gratitude in flow.
I am living as satisfaction
Fills my every pore
I know not impatience
Expectation
Or regret.
I know only NOW.
In this place,
It is alright to be exactly
What you are
Who you are
Where you are.
Equus ferus caballus.
A horse.
Right here.
